Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and efficient production of ethanol from cellulosic material with a yeast strain displaying cellulolytic enzymes.
Yasuya Fujita,Shouji Takahashi,Mitsuyoshi Ueda,Atsuo Tanaka,Hirofumi Okada,Yasushi Morikawa,Takashi Kawaguchi,Motoo Arai,Hideki Fukuda,Akihiko Kondo +9 more
TL;DR: The construction of a novel cellulose-degrading yeast strain by genetically codisplaying two cellulolytic enzymes on the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicates that efficient simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of cellulose to ethanol are carried out by a recombinant yeast cells displaying cellulolytics enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new Zn(II)(2)Cys(6)-type transcription factor BglR regulates β-glucosidase expression in Trichoderma reesei.
Mikiko Nitta,Takanori Furukawa,Yosuke Shida,Kazuki Mori,Satoru Kuhara,Yasushi Morikawa,Wataru Ogasawara +6 more
TL;DR: One of the functions of BglR is to up-regulate specific β-glucosidase genes (with the exception of bgl1, which is seemingly under the direct control of Xyr1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization and Heterologous Expression of the Gene Encoding a Low-Molecular-Mass Endoglucanase from Trichoderma reesei QM9414
Hirofumi Okada,Kohji Tada,Tadashi Sekiya,Kengo Yokoyama,Akinori Takahashi,Hideki Tohda,Hiromichi Kumagai,Yasushi Morikawa +7 more
TL;DR: The genomic and cDNA clones encoding EG III (a low-molecular-mass endo-β-1,4-glucanase) gene from Trichoderma reesei QM9414 were isolated and the gene transcript was shown to function as a leader peptide for possible secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of specific binding sites for XYR1, a transcriptional activator of cellulolytic and xylanolytic genes in Trichoderma reesei.
Takanori Furukawa,Yosuke Shida,Naoki Kitagami,Kazuki Mori,Masashi Kato,Tetsuo Kobayashi,Hirofumi Okada,Wataru Ogasawara,Yasushi Morikawa +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, together with the inverted repeat motifs, the single 5'-GGC(A/T)(4)-3' motifs play important roles as functional XYR1-binding sites in the regulation of cellulase and xylanase gene expression in T. reesei.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-Sorbose induces cellulase gene transcription in the cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei.
TL;DR: l-sorbose was found to regulate coordinately six cellulase genes (including egl3, whose behavior has not been studied so far) at transcriptional level, as is the case with sophorose in T. reesei strains PC-3-7 and QM9414.
